The Temptation of a Godhood

He tilted his head slightly and seemed to glance at Yue Guan from the corner of his eye.

"This is the most difficult road. It requires the gathering of mainland beliefs, the ability to astound the world with one's own talents, the spread of virtues and achievements, and the admiration of all people."

"In this way, the huge power of faith has accumulated and condensed over a long period of time before it can give birth to a brand new Godhood."

"A long time ago, 'Sea God', who ruled the ocean, followed this path and became a god."

Yue Guan held his breath and concentrated, this was an ancient secret that he didn't know.

Avatar paused and continued:

"The second is 'Inheritance Godhood'."

"Deity left behind inheritance secrets and tests. Those who are destined to succeed and those who meet the standard of talent can pass the numerous tests set by him - usually the 'Nine Tests'. When Soul Power's cultivation reaches the requirements, he can inherit his Godhood and ascend to the Divine Realm."

"The ancestor 'Angel God' of the Spirit Hall Angel Clan is Self-Created Godhood. And the descendants of later generations, like Great Elder Qian Daoliu, are looking for the Godhood who 'inherited' Angel God."

Speaking of this, Avatar suddenly stopped.

He slowly turned around and looked directly at Yue Guan, with a clear and meaningful smile on his face for the first time.

His eyes fell on Yue Guan and said softly:

"Speaking of which, according to scattered records in the ancient classics of my family..."

"Among those Divine Realm, there seems to be a 'Flower God' who is in charge of Baihua and enlightens spiritual plants."

He deliberately slowed down his speaking speed and continued word by word with incomparable clarity:

"And the previous successor of 'Flower God'..."

"Martial Soul, it seems to be--"

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

"!!!"

Boom--!!!

This sentence is more impactful than all the previous words about the Spirit Hall's foundation and the secrets of Godhood put together!

Yue Guan felt his brain buzzing and instantly went blank!

Flower God? Godhood? The previous successor...Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?!

This... how is this possible?! No, this is not the point! The point is what the other party means?!

Could it be hinting that... he Yue Guan, because he owns Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, has some potential and indescribable connection with the legendary "Flower God" Godhood...?

Are you even qualified to try inheritance?!

Become a god...

This word, which was once out of reach and even dared not be imagined, was now like the hottest poison, suddenly injected into his soul!

His heartbeat instantly surged to the limit, his blood flowed crazily, and an unbelievable hot feeling mixed with ecstasy swept through his body!

His hand on the stone table trembled uncontrollably.

Avatar took a panoramic view of Yue Guan's appearance as if he had been struck by thunder and was shocked to the point of losing his mind. He knew that the most critical fire had been lit.

But he did not continue to agitate further along the topic of "Godhood".

Some seeds, once planted, will take root and sprout wildly in the soil of desire. Excessive watering may be counterproductive.

So, he changed the topic again and threw another more deadly bait that directly hit the softest part of Yue Guan's soul:

"Furthermore, Yue Guan may not know..."

Avatar's voice became lighter, but it carried a strange magic power.

"It is said that real gods possess magical powers that are unimaginable to mortals."

His eyes seemed to penetrate time, and he saw the deepest pain and desire in Yue Guan's heart.

"Which includes... reversing life and death and resurrecting the dead."

"You can even lead the resurrected person to the Divine Realm to share... eternity."

"..."

The peak is dead silent.

There was only the sound of the howling mountain wind, and Yue Guan's breathing that suddenly became extremely heavy, like an old bellows!

Resurrection... of the dead?

Eternal?

Sister...

Yue Guan's eyes were instantly occupied by that gentle and smiling face. The sister who fell in a pool of blood and used her last strength to tell him to "protect yourself"...

If... if it's really possible to become a god...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, he only felt a sour heat rushing up his nose, his eyes instantly turned red, and his vision became blurry.

Reason was screaming at him, warning him that this might be a lie, a trap, or a way for the other party to control people's hearts!

But emotions... the longing and regret that have been suppressed for decades and have long become inner demons are like Ferocious Beast breaking free from the cage, tearing at his defenses crazily!

Avatar of Fu Shiyan quietly looked at Yue Guan's violently shaking shoulders and eyes intertwined with extreme longing and pain, knowing that the heat had arrived.

Too much is not enough.

Desires in people's hearts, especially desires that are deliberately guided and combined with the deepest obsessions, once turned on, are like a flood that breaks a dam and surges by itself, washing away all hesitations and obstacles.

He said no more words of solicitation or persuasion.

The figure began to slowly become transparent and blurry, like morning fog gradually dissipating.

Just before his figure was about to disappear completely, he stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the stone table in front of Yue Guan.

A bit of blue-gold light flew out from his fingertips and landed on the stone table.

The light quickly expanded and solidified, turning into a plant about a foot tall, with warm golden light flowing throughout its body, overlapping petals, and exuding an aura of incomparable purity and nobility!

It was the one that once appeared briefly in the hands of Dugu Bo, and attracted Yue Guan to chase after it at all costs - Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum (Immortal Herb)!

It is lifelike and full of aura, thousands of times more real than any illusion. The strong attraction and throbbing coming from the same source Martial Soul makes Yue Guan instantly confirm that this is the real thing!

"Seven days later, Zishi."

Avatar's ethereal voice came together with his finally dissipated figure, clearly imprinted in Yue Guan's heart.

"I... are still here, waiting for your Majesty's reply."

"This strain Immortal Herb is given to Your Majesty as a gift when you meet me."

"Your Majesty... think carefully about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Green-Robed Phantom completely disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, the scene around Yue Guan on the top of the sea of clouds and the stone tables and benches began to ripple like the reflection in the water being shattered by stones, quickly blurring, fading, and dissipating...

The light and shadow in front of him changed, and the familiar scent of the forest and the cool night breeze enveloped him again.

Yue Guan blinked suddenly and found that he had returned to the real world, standing in an open woodland somewhere outside Sunset Forest, surrounded by shadowy trees and a starry night sky.

In his hands, he held the plant that exuded soft golden light and alluring fragrance - Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Immortal Herb - heavily and truly.

The cold night dew wetted his robe, and the evening breeze blew away the blond hair from his forehead.

Yue Guan stood there blankly, Jiujiu did not move.

He lowered his head and looked at the Immortal Herb in his hand, which seemed to contain infinite hope and power. He then raised his head and looked in the direction where the figure finally disappeared, his eyes extremely complicated.
